So, the new compact zoom 16-50, 3.5-5.6 will not work on nx100 and probably nx10 as well.

You can't focus manually or otherwise, basically can't use it at all. And it never will.

Be warned.

I very much doubt the accuracy of that statement. Are you sure you dont have a faulty lens or camera?

For example, check this thread and in particular the posts by Viking79 towards the end of the thread: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54022900

The thread was initially about use of the premium 16-50 S lens on older cameras but Viking79  confirmed that both the 16-50 S lens and the 16-50 PZ lens worked well on his NX11.  That was despite the fact that NX11 firmware has never been updated for those lenses.  He even provided sample shots with both lenses.  The NX11 and NX10 are functionally almost identical and the NX100 is very little different apart from shape and lack of a viewfinder.

If anyone else has the 16-50 PZ lens and an NX100 or NX10, please confirm.
